Burning House Of Love

E A
Drive by my house late at night
E D
You can see from the freeway above
E C
No silhouette but the light left on
A G E
Burnin' there for love
Burnin' there for love
E A
Smoke is risin' from the back,
E D
Comin' out my back door
E C
I'm inside sound asleep
A G E
Cigarette on the floor
Burnin' there for love
Burnin' there for love
(chorus)
A D
I can still remember
A G E
A couple of years ago
E A D
When the smoke and flame from our name
A G E
Was a burnin' house of love
A G E
A burnin' house of love
A burnin' house of love (repeats a couple of times)
(solo break)
(repeat chorus)
E A
Well the rusty nail over our front door
E D
Is where I hung our tears in a ring
E C
I threw that horsehoe into the weeds
A G E
To see what luck can bring
To see what luck can bring
E A
Now you're in your bed and I'm in mine
E D
On either side of town
E C
I think I might take a ride
A G E
And burn your love house down
A G E
(Like a) Burnin' house of love
Burnin' house of love (repeats)
(repeat chorus)
